You may remember one of the participants for this family photo session from an earlier shoot. When Caitlin showed the results from her session with Anna, her mom called me up and requested I come out and take some photos of the whole family at their house in Naugatuck, CT. Aurora, Caitlin, Olivia, and Noah did a fantastic job during the session.
During this session we stuck to a more traditional style, but I made sure to get a few shots out of the normal family portrait photos. This was one of my first sessions with a toddler and boy did I get some on the job training in a hurry. Controlled chaos would be a good way of describing photography with small children. The number one lesson I walked away with from this session is to make the most out of the moments you can capture. It would be wonderful if I could dictate the situation down to the most specific of details every time I go out to shoot, but the reality is that some of the best moments are those that are unplanned and captured in that spontaneous moment before they vanish forever.
